Build a GEIDŌ Dinner Around What the Table Wants

GEIDŌ, a Prospect Heights sushi restaurant at 331 Flatbush Avenue, is a place to approach with your table’s preferences in mind. Whether you’re gathering friends who love raw fish, prefer cooked options, or want to share plates, the key is to coordinate your table’s priorities before you order.

The restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. If you’re considering a group dinner, it’s worth discussing everyone’s comfort with raw versus cooked seafood, as well as how you’d like to split dishes. The restaurant links a menu PDF on its website. Use that menu to discuss possible orders, then check the selections and prices available for your visit. For the most up-to-date options, review the current menu before you go or call 718-638-8866.

Understanding Sushi Menu Categories

When planning your order, it helps to know the general distinctions between nigiri, sashimi, and rolls:

• Nigiri: Slices of fish or seafood pressed over small beds of rice, typically served as individual pieces.
• Sashimi: Thin slices of raw fish or seafood, served without rice, often as a starter or shared plate.
• Rolls (Makimono): Fish, vegetables, or other fillings rolled with rice and seaweed, cut into bite-sized pieces for sharing or individual portions.

These definitions can guide your group’s discussion, but always check the current menu for what’s available that night.

If your group includes both raw fish enthusiasts and those who prefer cooked items, consider splitting the order between categories. For example, one diner might want to try a selection of nigiri, while another prefers a cooked roll or a hot appetizer. If you’re unsure about which dishes are raw or cooked, ask the staff for clarification when you arrive or call ahead.

For groups with vegetarians or those with dietary restrictions, review the menu in advance to identify suitable options. If you have specific needs, such as gluten-free soy sauce or allergy accommodations, it’s best to ask the restaurant directly before your visit.

Sharing vs. Individual Orders

Decide early whether your table wants to share everything or order individually. Sushi rolls are typically easy to split, while nigiri and sashimi are often served as single or double pieces. If you’re planning to share, ask how many pieces come with each order and whether the kitchen can adjust portion sizes for your group. For example, a party of four might want to order two rolls and a sashimi platter to split, while a couple might prefer individual nigiri selections.

Dinner Timing, Takeout and Travel

GEIDŌ’s hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 5:00–10:00 p.m. If you’re aiming for a specific dinner time, consider calling ahead to check on wait times or to place a pickup order through their ChowNow link if you prefer to dine at home. For larger groups, it’s wise to ask about seating availability and whether reservations are accepted, especially on weekends.

If your group prefers to eat elsewhere, GEIDŌ offers pickup and delivery through ChowNow. This can be a good option for parties who want to enjoy sushi at home or at a planned gathering. When ordering for takeout, review the menu online and consider calling the restaurant if you have questions about packaging, portion sizes, or special requests.
